This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 642 I Witness Life and Death with the Long River

Buddhist Capital.

Construction of this city began on the very day the Western Kingdom was officially established.

In a world with magic and martial arts, construction can proceed at an extremely fast pace.

In addition to its thousand-year-old Buddhist heritage, the wealth accumulated on Pudu Mountain is unfathomable!
Various precious array materials and magical artifacts are used to construct the city's protective array.

Special stone that can withstand physical and magical attacks, used for building city walls.

Hundreds of thousands of devout believers volunteered to work as laborers, contributing to the Pudu Temple day and night.

The entire Buddhist city took initial shape within ten days and was fully completed in less than a year.

The protective formation of the Buddhist capital is an 'extension' of the Vajra Nirvana Formation of the Great Sun Tathagata.

When the Western Kingdom was first established and Wenren Zheng came alone, Pudu Temple wanted to cover the entire Buddhist capital with the Great Sun Tathagata Vajra Nirvana Array, but this would require additional consumption of the nation's fortune and the power would be greatly reduced.

Now that the Great Sun Tathagata Vajra Nirvana Formation covers the entire Buddhist capital, its power will decrease to some extent, but there is no need to further deplete the nation's fortune.

When the azure giant, transformed from the Sky Blue Iron Cavalry, arrived outside the city of Buddha, the sound of chanting Buddhist scriptures could be heard throughout the entire city.

Hundreds of thousands of devout believers are praying for the Western Kingdom, providing a continuous source of faith power for Pudu Temple!
When Qilian Guanshi fought against Li Fei and others, he used the power of faith that the Manyuan Sect had accumulated over many years.

When it comes to the application of the power of faith, Buddhism is second to none!

The Western Kingdom's land area, population, and founding time are far inferior to those of the Grassland Kingdom.

But once the nation was established, its destiny was stronger than that of the grassland royal court!

It relied on the power of faith accumulated over thousands of years, and once the country was established, it was all transformed into the national fortune of the Buddhist Kingdom!

Under normal circumstances, when the Azure Iron Cavalry arrived in the Buddhist capital, they couldn't even break through the weakened Great Sun Tathagata Vajra Nirvana Formation, let alone enter the capital.

However, at this time, Jingheng had already transferred the power of the great formation to Vajra City, and the Buddhist capital temporarily lost its city-protecting formation.

Not only that, all the top Buddhist experts and monk soldiers also went to Vajra City.

The only powerful protector of the Buddhist capital and Pudu Temple is Buddha Jingheng.

A giant in azure blue strode in, his steps heavy as falling stars. With each step, the earth cracked open like a spiderweb, and the soil and rocks surged like waves.

Above the Buddhist capital, the sky suddenly loomed down, with dark clouds surging and lightning flashing wildly. Thunder rumbled across the heavens, shaking people to the point of feeling like their insides were about to burst.

The gale-force winds tore at the world like an invisible giant hand, shattering glass, breaking Buddhist banners, and making the entire city sway as if in a stormy sea.

The majestic power of the heavens was awe-inspiring and terrifying, making people tremble all over!
The Dao Principle—[Heavenly Qian Divine Subtlety]!
It can control all celestial phenomena and influence all things in the most subtle ways.

Gale-force winds, torrential rain, thunder, and stars are all types of celestial phenomena.

At this moment, the Azure Iron Cavalry covered the entire sky above the Buddhist capital with the power of the Dao, intending to attack the entire city with a change in celestial phenomena!
Now that the kingdom has been established, the Buddhist capital has become the 'heart' of the Western Kingdom, and will directly affect the fate of the Buddhist Kingdom.

If a nation suffers a devastating blow, its destiny will also be severely damaged!
Inside the main hall on Mount Pudu.

Before the solemn Buddha statue, a blue lamp flickers.

Jingheng sat cross-legged before the Buddha and the green lamp, his hands clasped together, and recited the Buddha's words.

The Buddha of this era had a sorrowful expression.

The Buddhist sect allowed Mingqi to break through his cultivation realm and become a saint, so the Great Blue Dynasty summoned a ninth-grade mythical beast from the depths of the Abyss.

With Xuanxin Zhenjun turning against them, the Great Blue Dynasty unexpectedly dispatched the Azure Iron Cavalry ahead of schedule.

What should have been a decisive victory has now turned into a checkmate by the enemy, with the Azure Iron Cavalry at the city gates!

Outside the main hall, a dazzling light suddenly flashed in the sky.

A bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a water vat, descended from the sky and struck straight down on a cluster of buildings in the very center of the Buddhist capital.

"Thus have I heard. At one time, the Buddha was staying in the Jeta Grove, Anathapindika's Park, in Shravasti, with a great assembly of twelve hundred and fifty monks."

Jingheng recited the Diamond Sutra using Buddhist teachings!

Before the purple lightning even hit the ground, it collided with a 'diamond wall' in mid-air.

hum-

The sound was as loud as a great bell, and the thunder was blocked.

Immediately afterwards, the sky above the Buddhist capital was paved with gold bricks and towering jade trees, and countless phantom images of monks lowered their eyes and clasped their hands, while the sound of chanting sutras merged into a vast ocean.

Under the control of [Tianqian Shenwei], the celestial phenomena also underwent new changes—

As the dark clouds surged, the sudden rain transformed into countless ice blades, pouring down with the power of the stars!

"Without the marks of self, others, sentient beings, or life span"

Jingheng changed his tone, and the Buddhist scriptures spread like a sky full of Buddhist seals. A majestic Bodhi tree rose from the ground, and the ice blade struck it, stirring up layers of golden ripples. The golden leaves on the Bodhi tree fell down with a whoosh.

But before the ice blades could fall completely, tornadoes descended like pillars from the sky, attempting to uproot the entire Buddha!

Thunder roared, like a spear of divine punishment, mingling with ice blades and tornadoes.

The sky above the Buddhist capital presents an apocalyptic scene!
Although Jingheng was not fully recovered from his injuries, he still ranked sixth on the top list.

Under normal circumstances, even if he were the only one defending the base, he would be able to withstand the attack of the Azure Iron Cavalry, and might even have a chance to severely damage them!

However, while he was busy blessing Jinglian with the "Buddha's words," he was also operating the Great Sun Tathagata Vajra Nirvana Formation to move her outside the Vajra City, assisting Buddha Eye Heavenly King and Qin Mingli in trapping Wenren Zheng.

Under these circumstances, the forces he could spare were extremely limited, and he gradually found himself unable to withstand the attacks of the Azure Iron Cavalry.

Before the dim lamp, Jingheng's expression grew increasingly sorrowful.

At one moment, phantom images of Vajra warriors appeared in the sky above the Buddhist capital, their angry eyes fixed on the heavens, holding pestles as they stood.

The Buddha said: If it is not extinguished, then the diamond will be indestructible!
With the appearance of these Vajra Warriors, Jingheng's defensive line was stabilized again.

Outside the Vajra Castle.

Within the Five Elements Reversal Formation.

The Buddha's palm is as sturdy as a mountain, with the swastika symbol constantly rotating in the center.

The dark golden sword peak below was covered in cracks, trembled violently, and descended inch by inch.

In a one-on-one fight against Zhenhe Tianhe, although Li Fei's Myriad Blood Beads had been upgraded and the [Blood Breath] had condensed into Blood Crystals, he was still at a significant disadvantage!

Without the full interference of True Monarch Xuanxin, Li Fei was able to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth normally, and the Blood Spring continued to restore his blood soul.

At the same time, [Blood Breath] takes effect, automatically absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth from the void to restore the Blood Soul.

Even when [Blood Spring] and [Blood Breath] are restored together, the recovery of Blood Soul still cannot keep up with the rate of consumption.

However, under Li Fei's deliberate control, the number of blood souls in the blood spring within his body remained at approximately 2000, while the number of blood souls within the Myriad Blood Pearl was constantly decreasing.

The fewer blood souls within the Blood Pearl, the faster the Blood Breath can restore blood souls.

At this moment, only 1000 blood souls remain within the Myriad Blood Pearl. [Blood Breath] can recover more than 1300 blood souls per minute by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the void!
The number of Blood Souls restored per minute exceeds 10% of the total number of Blood Souls, which is twice as fast as before the [Blood Breath] 'Crystallization'!
Therefore, the more Li Fei fought, the more resilient he became.

The more damage it takes, the harder it is to kill.

The characteristic of "Turning the Tide" is perfectly matched with it; the stronger the attack it withstands, the higher its defense ceiling becomes.

However, raising the upper limit also takes time. If the sword peak collapses too quickly, there won't be enough time to raise it.

Back on the rooftop of Tianyi Building, when facing Lin Tianyi's attack, Li Fei didn't even have time to wait for the upper limit of [Turning the Tide] to increase before his defense was broken.

In addition, Li Fei's own strength also needs to improve, otherwise he won't be able to withstand the ever-increasing sword peaks.

Therefore, the conditions for using [Turning the Tide] to improve in battle are actually very demanding.

First, you need to be resilient enough and have a thick enough 'health bar', otherwise you won't even be able to wait for the cap to be increased before you're gone.

Secondly, one's own potential must be strong enough, so that there is room for improvement before battle.

After forming the Blood Crystal, Li Fei was able to hold out for a period of time even against the Zhenhe Heavenly King, whose strength far surpassed his own.

As for potential, that's not a problem for Li Fei either.

From the moment he decided on his path to enlightenment and took his first step, he knew that his potential was the greatest in the world and the greatest in history!

The only problem is that the recovery speed of [Blood Breath] has a limit.

And the Heavenly King of Zhenhe, the third strongest in the world, possesses the power to break this limit!
If Li Fei cannot make a breakthrough before his limit is broken, or if there are no new developments on the battlefield.

He's going to die right here today!

Along the way, there have been countless moments of life and death.

Li Fei went from being cautious and afraid of death at the beginning to becoming more and more confident, and he no longer believed that he would die.

Now, I have seen the vastness of heaven and earth, and the towering peaks of humanity.

He knew that there was someone in this world who could kill him, but he was no longer afraid of death!

The path you choose is more important than life or death.

Though there may be thousands of people, I will go; how could such a spirit be bound by life and death?
Atop the sword-shaped peak, a golden dragon coils.

In addition, a bright moon hung high in the sky, its pure light shining on Li Fei.

After ascending to the Heavenly Tower, his foundation was strengthened, and his path of combining magic and martial arts became more perfect. Li Fei was able to integrate magical techniques and supernatural powers into the Creation Sword Techniques, using magic to enhance martial arts—using the [Eternal Stability] supernatural power to perform the Blood Might Seven Kills: Lunar Phase technique, repeatedly raising the upper limit of [Turning the Tide]!

"Not enough"

Li Fei is also constantly pushing his own limits.

Lin Tianyi's fusion of magic and martial arts is a perfect balance, a transformation between magic and martial arts without any obstruction.

Li Fei knew that his path was different from his opponent's; he pursued martial prowess through skill.

Since he couldn't beat Lin Tianyi in balance, he would surpass him in the limits of a single event!
The Heavenly King of Zhenhe naturally sensed Li Fei's change, similar to previous battles.

Both the calamity in Tancheng and the six-path reincarnation prayer wheel in Cuiqing City have occurred.

The Heavenly King of Zhenhe will not allow himself to become Li Fei's whetstone!
Rumble, rumble——

A heavy, booming sound, like the sound of the sky collapsing, emanated from the Buddha's palm.

The martial arts river, which had already pushed its power to the limit, began to increase its power even further!
The Heavenly King of Zhenhe can borrow the martial arts foundation of Buddhism for thousands of years with the [Ganges Martial Suppression], but he naturally cannot fully exert this foundation on his own.

His personal limits do not represent the limits of Buddhist martial arts.

At this moment, the River-Suppressing Heavenly King also broke through his own limits, further propelling the power of the Martial Arts River!
Exceeding your limits can cause injury.

For top-tier experts, unleashing power beyond their limits can damage the principles of the Dao!

When Wenren Zheng single-handedly killed three Buddhist martial saints formed from the Qi of the Great Sun Tathagata Vajra Nirvana Formation, he was pushing the limits of the Dao.

At that moment, the River-Suppressing Heavenly King did the same thing!

The changes in Li Fei made him somewhat uneasy.

More importantly, every extra moment that drags on the battlefield can lead to a different outcome.

The Heavenly King of Zhenhe is willing to pay a price to kill Li Fei quickly!

However, some changes have already occurred—

Outside the Heaven and Earth Reversed Five Elements Grand Formation, the Buddhist chants that had been resounding around Jinglian, who was responsible for intercepting the Azure Frost Army, suddenly stopped.

Jingheng, who was stationed in the Buddhist capital, ultimately chose to withdraw the power he had bestowed upon Jinglian in order to resist the attack of the Azure Iron Cavalry.

Xing Sinan, commander of the Azure Frost Army, did not miss this excellent opportunity and activated the Dao Law [Azure God's Frost Prison] at full power.
Jinglian and the formation surrounding him suddenly frosted over.

The formation, the Buddha's light, the space, and even the Pure Lotus's thoughts were all frozen at this moment!
An iceberg appeared outside the city of Vajra, exuding a chilling aura; even a glance from afar could feel its bone-chilling cold.

Xing Sinan did not choose to kill Jinglian by force because she was protected by the national fortune of the Buddhist Kingdom, making it very troublesome to kill her.

Furthermore, the [Azure God's Cold Prison] is not an offensive Dao principle, but a control-type Dao principle.

Therefore, Xing Sinan chose to temporarily seal the Pure Lotus, and then the blue giant turned around and rushed towards the direction of the Qiankun Reversal Formation!

The commander of the Azure Frost Army had a clear mind; he immediately realized that the Buddhists' intention was to kill Li Fei.

What the enemy wants to do is what I am determined to stop!
The next second, the Azure Frost Army broke through the outer barrier of the formation and charged into the formation.

The change Li Fei had been waiting for has arrived!
The southern border is thousands of miles away from the Western Kingdom.

The changes Li Fei hoped for wouldn't just happen in the Western Regions, but also here—

In the desert, 2,400 imperial guards formed two separate formations and traveled in a 'group' formation.

Dust billowed, and from above, two 'dust dragons' could be seen rapidly flying across the ground.

"Faster!"

Within the military formation, Li Tianyu kept urging them on, adjusting the formation and pushing the speed to its limit.

"Commander, if we travel at this pace, we will be extremely exhausted by the time we arrive. If war breaks out then, it will be very disadvantageous for us."

A subordinate reminded him.

Li Tianyu's eyes were resolute: "Don't worry about the cost; our mission is to get to Xuanji City as quickly as possible!"

Xuanji City, the capital of Xuanmo Kingdom.

After the Alliance of the Wild Gods ended, Li Fei led his men back to Lanling City.

The army that was stationed in the northern border received orders to rush from the northern barbarians to the southern border.

The path to enlightenment that Li Fei chose had already begun the moment he conquered the capital of the grassland kingdom.

Next, we will completely conquer the Northern Barbarians and sign the Alliance of the Wild Gods.

His next target is the two great desert kingdoms.

After signing the Wild God Alliance with the Northern Barbarians, he led a group of Great Blue Pride to the Heavenly Pride.

Next, he will go to the two great desert kingdoms, leading his own barbarian-slaying army.

Before the entire barbarian army could reach the southern border, the Buddhists launched their attack ahead of schedule.

When Li Fei took Xuchi Han to the Western Kingdom to support Wenren Zhengshi.

On that day, the Blue Iron Cavalry received orders to leave Blue Ling City.

Li Tianyu, who replaced Li Fei as the leader of the barbarian-slaying army, also received military orders:

"The entire Imperial Guard of the Barbarian Slayer Army, abandoning the main force, shall proceed at top speed to Xuanji City, the capital of the Xuanmo Kingdom, and Chishen City, the capital of the Chimo Kingdom!"

Therefore, Li Tianyu immediately led two thousand-man Imperial Guards to Xuanji City. The remaining thousand-man Imperial Guards, after joining forces with the strongmen of the Southern Border Army, will head to Chishen City.

A purple figure streaked through the air, leaving a long trail of flames, and caught up with the two imperial guards that were on their way, flying over the battle formation.

The newcomer was dressed in purple, had short hair, and sharp eyes.

President of Changping University, Qiu Zi'an!

She was also very familiar with Li Fei, and they had gone through thick and thin together.

Back then, she ventured deep into the Northern Barbarian lands to behead the Northern Barbarian King. In order to deal with Qiming, Qiu Zi'an even fought to the point of falling into a lower realm.

Later, she practiced the "Five Phases Reversal Method" taught to her by Li Fei, which rebuilt her supernatural powers. Not long ago, she returned from the realm of martial arts master to the realm of grandmaster!

Cao Xinghan, the admiral of the Southern Border, died on the battlefield after participating in the rebellion with the eldest prince.

With the position of Southern Border Admiral now vacant, the court appointed Qiu Zi'an, a loyal and patriotic female principal, to temporarily assume the post of Southern Border Admiral after Qiu Zi'an returned to the Grandmaster realm.

In Li Fei's original plan, he would take Li Tianyu, the Shaman Army, and Qiu Zi'an to conquer the two great desert kingdoms.

This matter is beneficial not only to his personal path to enlightenment, but also to Li Tianyu's cultivation and Qiu Zi'an's future.

It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes.

Or rather, Buddhism could never simply "obediently" watch Li Fei continuously pacify the borders of the Great Blue Dynasty and steadily improve the nation's fortune.

Even without the Great Luo Sect incident, Buddhism would have started this decisive battle before Li Fei conquered the two great desert kingdoms!
"Principal Qiu."

Li Tianyu, amidst the army formation, looked up at the figure in purple robes above.

"I will go to Xuanji City with you."

Qiu Zi'an's style has always been clean and concise, without any unnecessary words, getting straight to the point.

"it is good."

Li Tianyu: "What is the Wang family's attitude?"

After the Wang family's rebellion, Xuanji City, the former capital, has now completely fallen under their control.

After the two great desert kingdoms withdrew their troops, the various factions returned home and fell into internal strife.

With the deliberate support of the Great Blue Dynasty, the Wang family quickly gained the upper hand and was not far from unifying the Xuanmo Kingdom.

Qiu Zi'an: "Before you arrived, I had already sent someone to communicate with Wang Chengze. On the surface, this head of the Wang family is very cooperative and willing to submit to the Great Lan Dynasty, but in secret, he is constantly making all sorts of small moves and has his own ideas."

Li Tianyu said coldly, "You won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"

Li Fei intended to personally lead his troops to the two great desert kingdoms, planning to use absolute force to sweep away all resistance and effectively conquer and occupy them.

However, the Great Blue Dynasty only has time to send three imperial guards, which will split into two groups and go directly to the capitals of the two countries.

Qiu Zian: "I'm afraid that the Buddhists have colluded with Wang Chengze beforehand, and that the other party knows the current situation and is intentionally stalling for time."

A chilling killing intent flashed in Li Tianyu's eyes:
"Then fight!"

Time was too short; the Great Blue Dynasty simply didn't have enough time to mobilize sufficient forces.

Even with Li Tianyu leading two imperial guard units, plus Qiu Zi'an who had just recovered to her peak condition, they were no match for Wang Chengze.

After all, the other party is a Grandmaster ranked number one on the Heavenly Ranking!

If war breaks out under these circumstances, the only one who will lose is themselves.

But Li Tianyu spoke with absolute certainty.

After listening, Qiu Zi'an did not hesitate at all:

"Okay, let's fight!"
